Review of Babes in Toyland (1934) by Bill T — 12 Feb 2012
Delightfully surreal fantasy here, which I give thumbs up to on all fronts, even to Laurel and Hardy, which I normally snub my nose at. Here, while they are first billed, they're not on screen all the time, Instead, we get the goings on in Toyland, with Bo Peep, the old woman in the shoe, the three little pigs etc.
The story involves some codger named Barnaby trying to get Bo-Peep any way possible. But Ollie and Laurel won't have any of that! Weird cinematography, stranger characters (what was with that Mickey Mouse?) and odd songs.
.. Plus, the whole thing was (my copy at least) in strange computerized color. LOVE LOVE LOVE.
